Chain of Responsibility puts vehicle standards, driver fatigue, mass and load restraint on the same compliance footing, and every one of those needs a legible, auditable record. Brute Safety Products makes the pre-start books, fatigue documentation and depot signage that keep pace with a fleet moving between depots, sites and weighbridges, printed and manufactured in Perth, WA.

Safety Solutions Designed Around Transport and Logistics Requirements
Fleet compliance isn't a single form, it's a chain of records that has to hold up under audit, from the driver's pre-start check to the fatigue log to the maintenance history behind it. A gap in any one of those weakens the whole chain. Brute's pre-start and fatigue books are built around standard fleet formats already in use across Australian transport operations, so they slot into an existing CoR system rather than requiring a new one, and they're built to survive a cab door pocket, not just a filing cabinet.
Durable Safety Products Built for Transport and Logistics Environments
Pre-start books use taped or coil spine binding with a writing shield, so a driver can fill one out at a truck stop or loading dock without the entry smudging or bleeding through. The compact A5 format fits a cab door pocket, and duplicate NCR sets give the driver a copy while the original stays with the fleet record. Signage in ACM suits fixed yard and depot hazard points that need to last for years, while Corflute suits temporary signage around loading bays or short-term yard changes.
A vehicle that fails a pre-start check should be taken out of service until the fault is rectified, with the defect recorded and the vehicle clearly tagged to prevent it being used before repair. Documenting this step closes the loop between the pre-start check and the maintenance record.
Driver fatigue documentation typically records hours worked, rest breaks and a fatigue self-assessment, supporting the CoR duty to manage fatigue as a scheduling and driving risk. A dedicated fatigue book keeps this separate from general pre-start records, which makes it easier to audit.
Yes. Pre-start books, fatigue books and dockets can be customised with company branding, specific inspection points or additional fields to match your fleet's procedures, keeping documentation consistent across depots.
Heavy vehicle pre-start checks cover roadworthiness items such as brakes, tyres, lights, steering and load securing points, and forms part of the CoR duty to maintain vehicle standards. A dedicated pre-start checklist book provides drivers and fleet managers with a structured, auditable daily record.
